Abstract:
An information handling system includes a primary integrated display device housing and a second integrated display device housing attached via a hinge and a processor to determine a first relative orientation of the primary integrated display device housing to the second integrated display device housing from a plurality of orientation sensors. The processor further determines a working software application context by detecting at least a first software application running on the information handling system wherein the working software application context further includes an operating state rank of the first software application relative to other software applications. The processor detects a required user input to the first software application and alters a location of a first software application display window and a virtual input softkey on a display device based on the first relative orientation and displaces second software application window of a second software application with a previously-higher the operating state rank.
